NAD cries over chieftaincy Disputes in Assin land
Over the years, the people of Assin land have been experiencing Chieftaincy dispute; and situation has thwarted development in the area.
Our Survey has revealed that there are no chiefs in most of the 'Big' towns in Assin land after the demise of a number of chiefs in the area.
This has affected the Assin land in diverse ways especially when it comes to development.
For instance, for over 40 years Assin Akropong has never installed a single chief in the area.
Just recently a purported installation of a chief in the community brought about a various factions that created misunderstandings among some families.
The much talked about and renowned town like Assin Fosu has no chief for over the 10 years not to mention other towns like Assin Ahenkro and Assin Manson.
To add insult to injury, the TUTU festival, which is an occasion to unite and foster development in Assin Fosu has not been celebrated for the last 30 years as a result of chieftaincy disputes.
As a Network we believe that a properly installed chiefs in Assin Land will help in the development of our communities.
We are therefore demanding that the Institutions such as the National House of Chiefs, Central Regional House of Chiefs, the Central Regional Minister as well as the Peace Council as a matter of urgency should endeavour to respond swiftly to the situation in order to promote development in the area.
Again, we are also calling on all stakeholders, opinion leaders and all concerned citizens of Assin to help bring a closure to the matter.
However, we are giving the National House of Chiefs six months ultimatum to help address these pressing chieftaincy disputes that has bedevilled our communities for all this while.
Network for Assin Development (NAD) will mount pressure on all the stakeholders if they turn a deaf ears to our grievances.
As Mahatma Ghandhi says ' An eye for an eye will only make the world go blind'.
